Mrs. Hughson," of Chicago, whose
letter follows, is another woman in high
position who owes her health to the use of
Lydia R Pinkham's Vegetable Compound*
“Dux Mrs. Pink ham:—I suffered for several years with general
weakness and bearing-down pains, caused by womb trouble. Mr appe-
tite was fitful, and I would lie awake for hours, and could not sleep,
until I seemed more weary in the morning than when I retired. After
reading one of your advertisements I decided to try the merits of Lydia
EL Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and I am so glad I did. No one
can describe the good it did me. I took three bottles faithfully, and
besides building up my general health, it drove all disease and poison
out of my body, and made me feel as spry and active es a young girL
Mrs. Pinkham’s medicines are certainly all they are claimed to be."—

Mrs. Pinkham Telia How Ordinary Tasks Produce Displacements.
Apparently trifling Incidents in woman’s daily lifs frequently produce
displacements of tbs womb. A slip cm the stairs, lifting during menstruation,
standing at a counter, running n sewing machine, or attending to tbs most
ordinary tasks may result in displacement, and a train of serious sails Is started.
The flrst indication of such trouble should be the signal for quick action.
Don’t let the condition become chronic through neglect or a mistaken idea
that you can overcome it by exercise or leaving it alons.
More than a million women have regained health bp'tho use of Lydia B.
Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound.
If the slightest trouble appears which yon do not understand
write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mans- for her advice, and a few
timely words from her will show you the right thing to do. This
advice eosts you nothing, but it may mean life or happiness or both.
Mrs. Lelah Stowell, 177 Wellington
St., Kingston, Ont., writes:
•Dear Mrs. Pinkhaji: —You are indsed a
godsend to women, and If they all knew what
you could do for them, there would be no need
of their dragging out miserable lives in agony.
MI suffered for years with bearing-down pains,
womb trouble, nervousness, and excruciating head-
ache, but a few bottles of Lydia XL Pinkham**
Vegetable Compound made life look
new and promising to me. I am light and
happy, and I do not know what sicknem
is, and I now enjoy the beat of health."

Success.
Not every man that has a show
makes good at the box office.
There la a difference between mak-
ing.a success and making a show of
yourself.
A highly rated public man must de-
liver the good*, just as a merchant
must sell silk at the advertised price.
Many men struggle strenuously to
reach the rostrum, to find, upon facing
the audience, they have little to offer.
There should be method in all effort
A jokesmith of New York has been
investigating the‘trials of the news-
paper war correspondents and says
it is awfully tedious and risky to
spend hours with the pretty geisha
girls, tossing bits of biacult to the
goldfishes, beholding the glories of the
cherry blossoms and llBttug to the
nightingales when the dusk is falling.
The joker, likewise, says it Is a hard
lot to be compelled to sit cramped
and cross-legged throughout a meal,
nibbling at sweetmeats when the
stomach cries for meat. And, then,
some of the writers are learning fo
speak . the language—and that Is
arduous too! Who would be resigned
to the stale and unprofitable, as well
as dangerous and onerous, life of a
war correspondent in the Far East?
In Norway and Sweden before a
couple can be legally married they
must be vaccinated, it is said, and
accordingly before the nuptial rites
are performed, it is the duty of the
minister to inspect the vaccination
certificates of both bride and bride-
groom. Therefore, if you were to aak
a young lady in either of these coun-
tries where she was vaccinated, she
would probably not be compelled to
blush like a peony and murmur al-
most Inaudibly, “In Boston, sir!’’
When a Japanese lady does not de-
sire to receive her lover she sends
down word by the maid that she is
taking her bath. Being a gentleman,
he never advises her to “blip on some-
thing and come down!” Remember
the fate of the American woman that
slipped on the top step!
A statistician has been doing some
figuring in regard to last year’s Mis-
souri corn crop. The crop was 204,-
725,000 bushels. Counting 100 ears to
the bushel, there were 20,472,500,000
ears. And estimating one red ear to
every thirty-six white ones, how many
weddings would that be?
July 4 a boy came Into a store
where I was standing und wanted to
buy a penny's worth of shot. The
merchant refused to fill the order on
the ground that July 4 is n national
holiday—and besides, he didn’t want
to get rich all in one transaction.

Publle Labor Exchanges.
France is going to try the experi-
ment of suppressing paying employ-

community of less than 10,000 inhabi-

Mr. K. F. Henley of this city adds his
evidence to that published almost
daily that a sure care for Rheuma-
tism Is now before the American peo-
ple and that that cure ta Dodd’s Kid-
ney Pills. Mr. Henley had Acute
Rheumatism. Ho has used Dodd’s
Kideey Pills. He says of the result:
“After suffering for sixteen years
with Rheumatism and using numer-
ous medicines for Rboumatiara and
more medicines prescribed by doc-
tors, 1 at Inst tried Dodd’s Kidney
Pills with the result that I got moro
bentflt from them than all the others
put together.
“Dodd’s Kidney Pills were the only
thing to give me relief, and I recom-
mend them to all suffering from
Acute Rheumatism."

served at court, has been to charge
